Feds scanning liquids at Newark, other airports

Federal security workers have started using hand-held scanners to inspect bottled carry-on liquids for explosives at some of the nation's busiest airports, including Newark Liberty, according to a report by the Associated Press.

The Transportation Security Administration has finished testing the device at Newark, Miami International Airport and Newark. Testing is ongoing in Los Angeles, Detroit and Las Vegas, said agency spokesman Nico Melendez. Testing begins in Boston on Wednesday, according to the AP.
